Hi, I also need a function to "unquote" string, like this:
```d
assert(unquote(`\n`)=="\n");
```
Is there a way to do that?

I rolled my own for that recently:
```d
string dequote(string str) @safe pure {
        if (str.length < 2)
                return str;
	if ((str[0] == '"' || str[0] == '\'' || str[0] == '`') && 
str[$-1] == str[0]) {
                return str[1 .. $-1];
        }
        return str;
}
```
